Why Your Skin May Need a Reset After Summer
Summer is full of things we love. Longer days, time outside, vacations, sunshine, and a little more freedom in our routines. But as we head into fall, your skin may be ready for a little reset.
Between sun exposure, warmer temperatures, sunscreen, sweat, travel, and changes to your normal skincare routine, summer can leave your skin feeling different than it did a few months ago. You may notice that it looks a little dull, feels dry or dehydrated, or simply doesn't have that fresh glow you're used to.
September is a great time to check in with your skin and give it a little extra attention.
Summer Can Leave Skin Feeling Dehydrated
Even if your skin doesn't necessarily feel "dry," it can still be dehydrated.
Warm weather, time in the sun, air conditioning, travel, and changes in your daily routine can all affect how your skin feels. By the end of summer, you may notice tightness, rough texture, or skin that simply looks a little tired.
Adding hydration back into your routine can help your skin feel softer, smoother, and refreshed as we move into cooler weather.
It's Time to Refresh Dull Skin
Sunscreen is important all year long, and especially during those long summer days. Add in sweat, makeup, skincare products, and everyday buildup, though, and your complexion may be ready for a refresh.
Gentle exfoliation can help remove buildup from the surface of the skin and reveal a fresher, more radiant appearance underneath.
The key word here is gentle. A post-summer reset doesn't mean scrubbing or over-exfoliating your skin. Sometimes a little thoughtful care is exactly what it needs.
Your Routine May Need a Seasonal Check-In
We change our clothes when the seasons change, and sometimes our skincare routines need a little adjustment too.
The products that felt perfect during warm summer weather may not be exactly what your skin wants as temperatures begin to cool. September is a good time to take a look at what you're using, pay attention to how your skin is feeling, and make small changes as needed.
Not sure where to start? That's something we can talk about during your next facial at DK Spa.
A Reset Doesn't Have to Take All Day
Self-care doesn't always have to mean clearing an entire afternoon from your calendar.
That's actually part of the inspiration behind this month's featured treatment at DK Spa, The Rosée Glow.
This 30-minute express facial is designed to give all skin types a quick boost of hydration and radiance. Featuring radiance-boosting exfoliation and a plumping mask with a delicate rose fragrance, it's a simple way to refresh your skin as we transition from summer into fall.
The Rosée Glow | 30 Minutes | $70
Fresh skin. Beautiful glow. Just 30 minutes.
Back to Routines. Back to You.
September tends to bring fuller calendars and busier routines. As everything starts moving again, don't forget to leave a little room for yourself.
Maybe your reset is a facial. Maybe it's a massage. Maybe it's simply taking a few extra minutes at night to slow down and take care of your skin.
Whatever it looks like, the beginning of a new season is a great reminder to check in with yourself, too.
Relax. Restore. Renew. Glow.
